There's about 10 blokes at my work that were 50/50 on who to vote for, the minute they heard that announcement it made their minds up, he was a goner.

Lets face it if I had the choice between a new stadium in a go ahead location, and a bloody railway line going through Mirrabooka , I'm going for the stadium every time.

Put Barnett back in and have him skyrocket Utility costs again,short memories you mob.

W4eva I have always voted for Labor but this incredible decision by them to go back to the 3rd world Kitchener Park option and shelve a World Class Burswood Stadium that would put Perth on the sporting map absolutely defies logic
...I will now be voting for the Libs & in fact I hope they destroy this NSW blow in & he pisses off back there
...McGowan couldnt run a bath let alone OUR state!

Exactly how is a Burswood Stadium going to 'put Perth on the sporting map' ?

Its a stadium that 99% of its use will be for AFL games.

We have that now.

This is the same government that just refused to put money towards Liverpool FC visiting. If anything I see them as AGAINST putting Perth on the sporting map.

I believe the AFL should pay for the stadium. Andrew Demestos and his nibs sit on their arses and watch the tax payer fund infrastructure for our great game. Bollocks to em.

Why on earth would you put money towards an average privately owned pommy soccer team visiting Perth ...if they really want to come here they can afford it themselves!
The new stadium wouldnt just showcase AFL footy but also International cricket, rugby, soccer matches, rock concerts, music festivals etc all the sort of stuff Subi council & its residents put restrictions on!

Given that "Perth Oval" will be completed shortly you will see much less rugby and soccer played on Burswood/Subi as it will then cater for 99% of its requirements.

Perth has never hosted a "big" soccer match is and unlikely ever to simply because regardless what we do here you'll never drag the games that matter from Sydney (or Melbourne).

Cricket - are you kidding? The WACA has no interest in it.

Music? Maybe.
